Doggie Dog Friend is a not-for-profit Group that finds new homes for abandoned and unwanted pets all-volunteer Organized in 2007. Dog & Cat rescue group devoted to helping adoptable, friendly, dogs & Cats find permanent homes in the Buenos Aires area. Our dogs & Cats reside in foster homes as we feel this offers a better environment for them and provides an easier transition into an adoptive home.

Every day there are thousands of happy, healthy animals waiting in rescues for a second chance. Since our founding, we've rescued over 320 stray and abandoned pets.
When dogs arrive at Doggie Dog Friend p lace they are bathed, fed regularly and recieve vaccinations. They also receive a lot of love. Our volunteers are giving care-takers that also show the dogs love and affection. We try to socialize the dogs and prepare them for life with a new family. The number of dogs that we can accept into our shelter is limited by the amont of space we have

OUR MISSION

OUR GOAL

Adoption:

We see the importance of evaluating dogs for temperament early on and providing safe dogs to our adopters.

We vow never to foist an aggressive dog on an unsuspecting adopter and to hold high standards to the dogs we evaluate for our program.

Each year we rescue thousands of dogs who have been lost, discarded, abandoned, injured or neglected. Most are lost dogs who have not been reclaimed by their original owners. We do everything we can to find a loving and responsible new home for every adoptable dog or puppy.

Medical:

All dogs receive medical exams and care.

Prior to adoption, all dogs are given a medical exam, vaccinations for rabies, distemper, parvo, parainfluenza, hepatitis, and bordatella; a heartworm test and preventative, and treament for fleas, ticks and internal parasites as needed. Some young puppies may be too young to receive all necessary rabies vaccinations prior to adoption.

All female dogs and puppies are spayed, and all male dogs and puppies are neutered prior to adoption.

Incoming cats and kittens are examined for general health, illness, injury, parasites and tested for feline viral diseases and provided appropriate medical care. Animals within our care are treated with the utmost loving attention, including medical care, daily walks, socialization, and grooming.

Despite popular belief, sterilizing your dog or cat will not make it fat and lazy. Pets normally become fat and lazy because of overeating and lack of exercise, not from spaying and neutering.

Both male and female dogs live longer healthier lives if they are spayed or neutered. Spaying a female eliminates the possibility of uterine and ovarian cancer and greatly reduces the chances of breast cancer. Neutering a male dog will make your pet more affectionate and less likely to roam, get in fights, or become lost.

Think about these facts before allowing your pet to have "just one litter" of puppies or kittens!

Fact One female dog and her offspring can produce 67,000 dogs in six years! One cat and her young can produce 420,000 kittens during the same time frame.

For every human born, there are 7 puppies and kittens born.

Fact An estimated 6 to 8 million dogs and cats are euthanized in shelters each year. That's about 55 percent of the animals entering shelters, based on reports from the National Council on Pet Population Study and Policy.
